Ballistic Security Glass

What type of bulletproof glass do I need?

The centerpiece of any effective bulletproof barrier system is a carefully selected choice of bulletproof glass. Your choice of glass impacts your protection level, as well as all of the other ballistic components you choose, such as bulletproof doors, frames, and accessories. Without a solid understanding of bulletproof glass, you’ll be vulnerable to costly mistakes and project delays. There are also widely-varying cost and lead time implications for each type of bulletproof glass product.

8 Levels of Bullet-Resistant Glass Explained

Biggest Mistakes Made With Bulletproof Glass

We often see customers trying to self-diagnose which level of protection they need. Many people fall into the trap of over-protection, which outstrips their budget and creates structural problems. Adding more layers and greater thickness can increase your protection level, but it also greatly increases the weight and cost of the materials. You also might end up choosing something that is too thick to see out of or too heavy for your existing window frames to support. Working with our sales engineers at the very beginning of your project will ensure that you choose the appropriate level of protection.

What Does A Bulletproof Glass System Cost?

The cost of your bulletproof glass systemwill depend on the glass you select, and the system needed to support it. Simple projects like something suitable for a stand-alone ticket window or after-hours transaction window, might cost between $3,000 to $5,000 to ship to you (not including your installation).

A more complex bullet-resistant barrier system, such as an entire truck stop, small bank branch, or corner store is going to run around $15,000 to $20,000. This might include project details like enclosing each register in a bullet proof glass booth with ballistic fiberglass, reinforcing the counters and installing deep deal trays that are integrated into the countertops.
